The Fisher Family
[Note to the Reader: The Fisher family is extensive. The following information was gleaned from The Kanawha County Family Tree Project and Sissonville: A Time to Remember. I am certain it is fraught with mistakes, and I need a second or third eye to help follow the threads in this family tapestry. A rather large amount of research still needs to be done, as you can well see.]
